Immediately following Randy Orton’s victory over Aiden English, an irate Rusev hit the scene and boldly proclaimed that he was here to avenge his 10-second loss to Orton at SummerSlam. He challenged The Viper to a match on the spot, and Orton, never one to back down, immediately accepted.
Almost immediately after the match started, English popped up on the apron, and Rusev pushed Orton into him. Rusev capitalized on the distraction to connect with a kick flush to Orton’s face, giving The Super Athlete a controversial victory over his nemesis in mere seconds. However, questionable or not, The Bulgarian Brute celebrated the victory as though it was one of the biggest accomplishments of his career, both on the ramp and in a backstage interview.
